@Josh_Self_ At this rate we may have a minority government by then
The Poulter defection brings back happy memories of similar ahead of 1997. Morale is important in a campaign and this will hurt Tory morale and boost Labour’s
This defection means the Tories’ majority has nearly *halved* since the general election: from 80 seats to just 41.
“I find it increasingly difficult to look my NHS colleagues in the eye” Former Conservative minister and MP Dr Dan Poulter has quit his party to join Labour. He tells #BBCLauraK he believes that Keir Starmer can be trusted to run public services bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
my favourite thing here is "Norwich-based"
Ipswich Conservatives leaflet showing in advance how General Election will be fought by Tories [crudely smearing opponents and repelling 'traditional' supporters, an almost guaranteed losing track] via @AndGreef
There's a weird narrative Rishi Sunak has had a good week because of Rwanda and defence. But he's now got nowhere to hide on small boats. And defence doesn't shift votes. In reality Labour's had the best week with their rail announcement.

This is every week now until Mid December isnt it.
Several people around the Prime Minister - who actually know what is going - assure me there is **NOT** a general election being called on Monday. Everyone calm down.
I don’t mind being wrong about this, and it is only based on guesswork, very obviously, but my working election date assumption is now Dec 12th. There’s a bit of wishful thinking in this too, because I want a US-UK gap.
This is how the rumour started People with access to confidential news plans noticed a 6pm Friday Palace announcement Then people noticed Sunak was booked for Sunday politics shows 1: was good news about King’s health 2: perfectly normal pre-election thing Thats how rumours work
More Readers of most editorially tory leaning newspapers prefer Labour to the tories Including: Daily Telegraph, 31% Labour compared to 26 per cent who plan to vote tory I think the tanks have moved from the lawn into the kitchen 😂😂 politics.co.uk/news/2024/04/2…
Happy election maybe being called day
I’m putting the odds on a GE being called tomorrow or next week at 50% That’s about 250 Con MPs being thrown to the wolves - if I’m right, of course.
Stephen Flynn this morning: "Humza Yousaf will come out fighting." Humza Yousaf: " ...
NEW: Sky News understands Humza Yousaf is to cancel a speech he was due to deliver on independence in Glasgow this lunchtime. @SkyNews
(Still not) facing up to Brexit. New post on my Brexit & Beyond Blog. What recent Brexit news stories tell us about EU-UK relations and the domestic politics of Brexit - and what the future might hold for both: chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2024/04/still-…
NEW: Humza Yousaf is ‘coming out fighting’ a senior Scottish Government source tells me - the FM isn’t stepping down despite speculation
So, tomorrow will see @HumzaYousaf stepping down and @neilcgray being the SNP choice to replace him. You heard it here first!
Ash Regan, who holds decisive vote, has written to Yousaf with a series of demands around independence and women’s rights Alex Salmond tells Times Radio: “If I were Humza Yousaf, I’d get drafting a very favourable answer, otherwise he’s going to be known as ‘Humza the Brief’"
